Course summary

The MA in Community Music will enable you to develop creative music activities using appropriate leadership approaches to facilitate access for diverse client groups in varied social contexts. It will provide you with the skills and knowledge to devise and deliver participatory community projects and develop research skills based on critical practice, data handling and evaluation.

The course covers music in education, health, welfare and recreation and the ability to move flexibly within these fields. This multifaceted approach is complemented by topics in arts administration and will prepare you to meet the demands and professional requirements of related employment and has proved attractive to recent graduates, mature students and international students.

Typical applicants may have an interest in the creative application of music in various participatory settings such as education, health, and personal or community-development but may not wish to train exclusively within one of these areas; they may be attracted to the growth in job opportunities in arts management, administration and consultancy; or they may wish to develop a portfolio career in a range of scholarly, professional and charitable settings. The programme aims to meet these needs and interests through its wide-ranging course structure that balances breadth of subjects with specialised research projects.

Careers and skills

Graduates of this course are highly placed in many of the UK arts institutions, with many employed at UK and overseas institutions. Others have taken advantage of the diverse portfolio of arts management and administration gained from this course, or gone on to qualify further as music therapists. You'll also be perfectly equipped to continue your studies to PhD level.
